OIL BURNER.

Application filed March 15, 1923. Serial No. 625,225.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnovnn C. Moonn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Torrance, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Oil Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to liquid fuel burners, and the purpose of my invention is a provision of a liquid fuel burner of extremely simple, inexpensive, and durable construction which operates to thoroughly vaporize oil or any other liquid fuel under the action of a fluid under pressure which is supplied to the burner so as to effect the complete intermixing of the oil vapor and fluid and thus secure perfect combustion.

It is also a purpose of my invention to provide a liquid fuel burner which employs a fluid under pressure in such manner as to cause the positive feeding of the liquid fuel to the burner and without the employment of any extraneous means such as pressure means applied to the fuel.

Although I have herein shown and de scribed only one form of liquid fuel burner embodied in my invention, it is to be understood that various changes and modifications may be made herein without departing from the spirit of the invention and the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings,

Figure 1 is a view showing in top plan one form of liquid fuel burner embodied in my invention.

Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view of the burner shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the liquid fuel discharge unit.

Fig. 4 is a bottom plan view of the pressure fluid discharge unit.

Referring specifically to the drawings in which similar reference characters refer to similar parts, my invention in its present embodiment comprises a liquid fuel discharge unit designated at 15, and a fluid pressure discharge unit designated at 16, the latter being preferably superimposed upon the former, although it is to be understood that the arrangement of units may be reversed without departing from the spirit of the invention. The units 15 and 16 are preferably of disc formation and of the same thickness and diameter.

The liquid fuel discharge unit is provided with an oil receiving compartment 17 to,

which oil is supplied from a pipe 18 connected to a nipple 19 preferably formed integral with the unit 15. Oil is discharged from the compartment 17 through a plurality of restricted ports 20 which as clearly shown in Fig. 3 are arranged in the form of an arc and adjacent the forward edge of the unit. Obviously, the arcuate arrangement of the ports 20 is not necessary to the successful operation of the burner, but it will be understood that this particular arrangement will facilitate the oil discharge under the action of the fluid under presure.

The pressure fluid discharge unit 16 is likewise provided with a fluid receiving compartment 21 to which the fluid under pressure is supplied from a pipe 22 connected to a nipple 23 formed integral with the unit 16. The fluid is discharged from the compartment 21 through a single port 24 disposed rearwa-rdly with respect to the ports 20 when the units 15 and 16 are assembled as shown in Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. 4, the unit 16, at its under side is recessed as indicated at 25 to provide a passageway for the passage of the fluid from the port 24 forwardly and across all of the ports 20. In view of the arcuate arrangement of the ports 20, it will be clear that the recess is fan or sector shaped.

In practice, the units 15 and 16 are secured in superimposed relation by means of the cap screws 26, the arrangement of these fastening members being such as to prevent any relative movement of the two units. Preferably oil is supplied to the compartment 17, and steam to the compartment 21 with the later discharging from the compartment through the port 2 1 so as to traverse the recess 25 and across the ports 20 thereby creating a suction within the compartment 17 to withdraw the oil therefrom through the ports 20. As the oil is discharged into the recess 25, an intermixing of the same is effected thereby vaporizing the oil and producing a highly combustible mixture. This mixture as emitted from the burner between the units 15 and 16 produces, when ignited, a fan i 7 nection to an oil pipe and 'h-ayin ga, chamber into which the nipple discharges and "there being a plurality of restricted ports from the chamber through a fiat-side inxan arc concentric to the periphery of the unit at the opposite side from the nipple a-nd a fluid pressure discharge unit having a flat side fitting the ported side of the fuel unit and having a chamber and nipple for con- 1 nection to a pipe, there being a port leadingiifrom the chamber at the axial center of "the unit and'theface ofthe unit confronting the fuel unit being cut away from the port of the periphery to form a fanshaped passage leading across the ports of the liquid fuel discharge unit.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
